A Law Enforcement officer can buy them through a certified Glock Law Enforcement dealer. Once they own them they can legally sell them to anyone they want.....

You may want to bring some mustard , i hear it makes shoe leather taste better. You might be eating those words.

Glocks are junk, they are top heavy without any safety (dangerous). More importantly, they don't shoot for c**p. I sold all of mine. For all the BIG Glock fans out there, I'd put you to shame on the shooting range. Glocks are over rated and just a name. There are far more better weapons out there than a "GLOCK". whooo, the name is so mesmerizing and cathcy.

Don't make any bets unless he says he has a Glock 18 full auto, and he's not in LE.

Otherwise anything is possible

Not unless your friend smuggled it illegally or bought it from someone who smuggled it in. You're right, they can't be imported into the US. Either way, he has an illegal handgun or is full of c**p. :)

It is possible that your friend does have a Glock Model 25 .380 acp but he may not be the owner.  If he is in law enforcement it could be a department gun termporarily issued to him.  That's the only legal way I know he could be in possession of one.

A friend of mine (in LE) became obsessed with owning a .380 Glock.  We contacted Glock and even BTAF.  This is what we learned:

He couldn't do it through his department because the department would end up having to own the gun.  More research revealed that possession of one of these by any other method (say buying on-line or by individual sale elsewhere then brought into the USA) could get the bearer of the gun charged with possessing a smuggled/prohibited firearm.

I finally suggested to my friend that he just buy a Glock Model 19 or the subcompact Model 26 and load it with subsonic 9mm ammo.  This because he wanted it for his wife who is recoil-sensitive.  He ended up getting a Wather P-22 instead.

Not available does not mean banned. I took guns to Europe. I had to leave them in the cockpit, and there was paper work involved from the Irish consulate, but I got it done. There are ways.

The Glock 25 is does not score enough points with ATFs factoring criteria (http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/feib/g... to be imported for sale to the public. They can be imported for sale to a law enforcement of government agency and once that agency has it if they decide they no longer need it they can sell it. There are a few Glock 25 pistols in private hands this way.

On the other hand, since the Glock 26 and 27 are exactly the same size, why would you want to step down to a .380 ACP.
